In a recent interview with Busted Open Radio, MLW CEO Court Bauer revealed that the company has signed Ichiban to a contract.

“I think over time, you’re going to see guys like Ichiban, who is a breakout guy out of the Northeast region. Now, we’re trying to take him to the next level, national, the international level, I think he’s going to be a guy to be on the lookout for, he’s very talented and he’s been killing it in the New England area and that’s where I said, okay we’ve got to sign this guy, and I can tell you guys this officially, as an exclusive here, we just signed Ichiban and he’s a prospect that we’re looking for big things from. He’s facing ‘Hot Sauce’ Tracy Williams on this show, so that’s going to be a great match with great styles.”
